- In Financial Literacy & The Social Media Generation, Nelson Soh posits that the generation born in and after 1985 is unique because of its sense of entitlement, need for instant gratification and access to easy credit. These characteristics have resulted in a generation that is entitled, egotistical, easily persuaded by social media, addicted to material things, and financially illiterate.
In Financial Literacy & The Social Media Generation, Nelson’s idea-worth-spreading is that his generation must make financial literacy an urgent priority. Nelson believes that becoming financially literate creates life-changing opportunities. Failing to do so will have dire consequences.
Nelson Soh is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA), author, financial literacy expert, and part of the social media generation. His goal is to help current and future generations succeed in life - personally, professionally and financially.

The act of overseeing all these transactions for a business is what we mean when we talk about a company’s financial management.
The bigger the company, the more complicated financial management becomes.
Every business needs to sell products or services, pay expenses, balance the books, and file taxes.
Timothy Eric Meek said that financial management is about controlling the flow of money in and out of the organization.
That is the simplest definition of financial management that i have ever seen. he must be a genius.
When it comes to modern financial gurus, Timothy Eric Meek is among the best out there.
If you don't find a means of multiplying money, you will wake up one day to realise that the money you thought you had, has exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
I agree with you mate. Investment is also a bridge to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with assured return because there are investment that has no gives no profit.
So how do you get your proper guide and the analysis you mentioned? Because I have incurred huge losses while investing by myself
it's best to have an investment man *ager* who has well acquainted knowledge about Investment, to help you earn from your Investment on your behalf while you oversee the Investment growth, having hundred percent access to your portfolio.
Speaking of investment man *ager* , any recommendation? . I will also want to know if while he/she handles my Investment, is my investment still accessible by me to monitor and authorize any action on the Investment portfolio?
My investment manager is Mrs Roy Kheler, she is knowledged when it comes to investment that assures daily and weekly returns.
Nelson, you are describing my life just in a different scenario and I'm in the process of what you have become. Thank you for sharing. I'm feeling hopeful.
Wow. Thank you so much, Kania. You are on the right track. Keep going and crush those goals. I know you can do it. 👏💥👊
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Watching your videos is like attending a positivity party. Count me in! 🎉
Love it! Please join the party!! 🎉🙌
To be clear, working just for the money is not the issue. The issue is working for money for the show.
Becoming financially literate is about deeply introspecting the reason of your purchases and fully understanding the opportunity cost.
It does not mean you should never spend on things you don't need, like good cars or vacations.
It means if you are to spend, be honest to yourself about why you spend, and convince yourself that even if the debt deters you from other important life goals, you approve the spend.
Agree with you here my Friend. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my TEDx Talk !
I haven't been materialistic since elementary school.
The video is very helpful for me as a person who have entered the early years of my adulthood. It is true that with the influence of social media, big ego and a sense of entitlement and easy access to credit, people's judgement are covered up with instant satisfaction of material things, attention from others from social media which make make purchases of unnecessary things and eventually be locked into bad debt. I really don't want myself one day will get into that same situation. Thank you Nelson for giving such educational speech!
Thank you very much for watching my talk and I'm glad that you were able to gain some valuable insights and "what not to do's" from it. Please help by sharing my talk with someone that you care about that you feel should see and hear this message. Together, we can help improve financial literacy awareness!
This was so good ! And extremely helpful I learned so much in this video it’s so important to be finically literate !!!
Thank you so much for your time to watch my talk! Financial literacy is non-negotiable!
Great Insight, Sir. Much Appreciated.
Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you! 🙏🙌
Such an important topic! Thank you for sharing!
I could not agree more. Financial Literacy is non-negotiable! 😊🤙
Hey Nelson,
Loved the way u conveyed the speech, really motivates me everytime I watch. Looking forward to more such Ted talks.
Thank you so much, Niharika. I appreciate your feedback and time to watch my talk! What is one thing you will do this week to level up your personal finances?
100% agree on our current generation being too attached to instant gratification - I still struggle with this on and off myself as well. Finding purpose and validation from within instead of externally makes life so much more fulfilling! Thank you for sharing your wisdom brother!!
Appreciate your feedback and vulnerability with this comment, Nathan! You are on the right track by finding purpose and validation from within. Combined that with financial literacy and you are set for life, my friend! Keep up the great work.
Nathan, thanks again for watching my TEDx talk! Hope you have been able to fight the cravings for instant gratification and find more fulfilment from purpose and validation from within.
What a great message! Every kid should listen to this. In fact, I'm going to make sure mine do today. Thanks for sharing Nelson...!
Thank you so much for your support, Daryl! Happy to help our current and future generations become financially literate.
Amazing talk, every youngester should watch
Agreed! Appreciate your help in sharing this message.
Nelson,
This is such a powerful and relevant message. Financial literacy is a subject that should be taught in schools... but isn't. I'll be sure to share this with my students :-)
Thank you for watching and for sharing with your students, Colin!
Good job Nelson. Understanding money really is key, and its just not taught enough in our schools. Great to see your passion and dedication to the subject.
Thank you, Jeff! I couldn't agree more. Financial literacy is the foundation to success in life!
@@nelsonsoh_ thanks Nelson I’m going to start putting 10 dollars of what I earn in my crayola piggy bank for now, my next financial goal is to buy a PS5 within 2023
Nelson, this is a message applicable to a majority of individuals in your generation. Financial literacy as you point out brings freedom and relief. Relief not just from indebtedness, but relief from worry, fear, and uncertainty related to paying bills and not being able to save and invest. You also address so eloquently the issue of FOMO, fear of missing out, and how social media has propagated FOMO. Social media breeds discontent, if we are constantly comparing ourselves to the "perfect" lives of others online. Spoiler Alert: no one's life is perfect no matter how good they make it look on social media! Well done, Nelson.
Thank you so much Skip! I appreciate your feedback and perspective. FOMO is a real thing and so is "Tik Tok made me buy it." Too many people are getting caught up in keeping up with the Jones' that they forget to take care of their own financial well-being.
Hey Nelson!
Good job.....it's necessary to understand how money works before using it....
Thank you for watching my talk! Couldn't agree more with you here!
Wow, very impactful. This needs to be taught at high school! Keep sharing this important information Nelson.
Thank you for watching this, Lee! Appreciate your feedback and will keep pushing!
Loved this talk! I especially like how you tired in the world of social media and how it has great impacts on our financial literacy. Such an important conversation to be had!
Thank you, Tiff! Appreciate your thoughts on this and yes, it's an important (and sometimes uncomfortable) topic but it needs to be discussed.
Great talk Nelson. Definitely makes me think twice about how I want to raise my son in terms of financial literacy in this social media world. Hope you keep on spreading this important message.
Thank you for your feedback, Jonathan! We need to set our current and future generations up for success - personally, professionally, and financially!
@@nelsonsoh_ why don't you upload longer videos?
@M more videos coming on my channel soon. Thank you so much for your support! 🙌
When I heard that their parents passing down wealth --- I can't relate. Lol. But this is a very helpful talk! Restudying financial education again because I got carried away in the latter pat of 2023~
Awesome! Love to see you continue to thrive. Thank you for watching my TEDx Talk !
Amazing Ted Talk Nelson! Financial Literacy Is a Non-Negotiable! I love that quote! :D
Thank you, Michael! I appreciate your support and for helping others become financially literate yourself. Together, we can make a massive impact!
Michael - Thanks again for watching my talk, my small ask is that you please share this with anyone that might gain something from it. Appreciate it!!
I'm a 16-year-old from Washington I'm going to graduate in a few months and i spend about 6 hours a day studying business and real-estate, what if i told you a year ago i was partying with hella people doing drugs and getting in fights. Kids nowadays are going down the wrong road, i had to self-dripline to become me with nobody's help but my own and kids cry when you call em the wrong pronoun. No hate only love i just hope there's more of me out there
Proud of you bro. Keep going. 💯
Exactly! I will never understand those type of teenagers... I mean, it's okay to go to parties and do similar stuff because you're curious, you want to socialize with people and have fun, but some people take it to another level and ruin their lives.
By the way, good luck and don't give up!
Love to see this type of growth and continued learning. Life is school, and the more you learn, the better life becomes! Keep it up 💥👊
You’re not special for that
And you’re transphobic
This is one I'll share with my kids for sure. Such an important message for this generation. Thanks Nelson.
Thank you so much for your time to watch my talk, Anna!
People especially younger generations should hear this! Its great and very impactful talk. Very timely nowadays
Thank you very much Ms. Kaycee! Our current and future generations need to be financially literate to have financial independence one day.
@@nelsonsoh_ indeed 💯
@@ms.kayceemoral8077 🙌
Kaycee, thank you again for watching my talk and I hope you were able to share it with others in your network that could gain something from watching it. What is something that stood out to you that you believe everyone needs to understand / action on to become financially literate?
@@nelsonsoh_ I have learned a lot on this talk.. For me, one way that people should understand or start doing to become financially literate is that.. Never spend more than what you earn :)
Great message and really powerful insight for the next generation. 👏
Thank you, Neil! The goal is to help the current and future generations succeed financially in life.
This is a perfect Ted Talk to teach my high school students about being financially literate.
Thank you, Mary! I would be honored if you shared this video with your high school students. I hope they learn the importance of financial literacy and understand how money works. If they start early, they will be set for success in the future.
Mary, thanks again for watching my TEDx talk and I hope you were able to share this with your high school students. Financial Literacy is so important!
Wonderful video.
Thank you for watching my TEDx talk! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Bro straight-up danced around for 13 minutes talking bout how I should be financially literate without giving any new information.

Nelson, very powerful and impactful talk. Financial literacy is such an important life skill for us all to understand and master.
Thank you, Brien. Financial literacy is the key to success but most don't want to deal with it until it's too late.
Brien, thank you again for watching my TEDx Talk and I ask that you please help share and spread the importance of financial literacy!
What a wonderful Lecture. What has should understand is that the failure of a Marriage cuts net worth by 50 to 75%.
Thank you for your time and energy to watch my talk! Circumstances may vary by individual but agree that some may see net worth impacted this way.
Wow, this was very impactful. I will be sharing this with my teenage son. Thank you for the insight
Thank you so much for watching my talk, Katie! Appreciate you sharing this with your son and I hope he gains something valuable from it!
Thanks again for sharing this with your son, Katie. I would be very grateful if you could please share this with anyone else that might gain something from it. Cheers!
Powerful message Nelson 💯. Financial literacy is must. We can't build wealth without having proper knowledge about finances.
Thank you so much for your time to watch my TEDx Talk! I 100% agree that financial literacy is a must.
What a fantastic opportunity to share insight on a important topic that isn't talked about enough. Great job Nelson, up next TED stage!
Thank you Jenn!! Appreciate your time to watch my talk and you are right, financial literacy is not talked about enough. Let's get the conversations going! (TED stage next is the goal!)

Amazing perspective, we all need to keep sharing this!!
Thank you so much for your time to watch my talk, Danielle! I appreciate your support and yes, please keep sharing this!
What a powerful and impactful speech Nelson! This has really got me thinking about Financial Literacy and exposed how little I know. You did a fantastic job and didn’t miss a beat! So true to think about the future world leaders and how our generation as no idea how money works! Looking forward to more presentations in the future!
Thank you, Javen! Glad you enjoyed it and my goal is to help the current and future generations create financial success through financial literacy. Something we all need in our lives but aren't formally taught.
Javen, thanks again for your feedback! Please do reach out if you've got questions about financial literacy and how I may be able to help or point you in the right direction! 🙌
Great message and delivery nailed to perfection Nelson!…a message we all need to hear that definitely resonated with me!
Thank you, Andrew! Glad this resonated with you. Many people face financial literacy challenges and I hope this video helps people create clarity and take action.
We need to start teaching financial literacy in schools!! Thanks for doing this.
Thank you for your time to watch my talk, Marie!
Marie, thanks again for watching my talk, and would be grateful if you could share this with at least one more person that would gain something from watching it.
Great insights and relatable point of view. Going to take your advice and look at how to pay myself first and save or invest. Thrilled that you are sharing this message with young people about financial literacy.
Thank you, Brian! If we don't pay ourselves first, nobody else will. I am happy to hear that you will take action!
Thanks again for watching my talk, Brian! Wondering if any of your students gave good feedback or takeaways from this?
If you where born in the 90s no parent is leaving massive wealth for there kids. The only thing you get from them is funeral expenses.
Loved it.. Probably the absolute best Ted talk i have ever watched so far. Life changing. Thanks for educating us on how to handle money matter. Becoming financial literate is NONNEGOTIABLE.. best line!!!
Thank you RK!! Yes!! Becoming financially literate is NON-NEGOTIABLE! One more time for the people in the back!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE AWAKENING!
Thank you for your time to watch my talk, Mark! Glad you enjoyed it. What's one thing you learned that you will pass on to someone else?
Thanks again for your time Mark, hope you will help share my talk with 1 person that you think will gain something from it this weekend!
Powerful speech Nelson! Needs to be watched by everyone living the social media era as it is a harmful platform that impacts everyone unconsciously.
Thank you so much, Jessica! We must create boundaries on how we use social media so we hear fewer people say "Tik Tok made me buy it!"
Well done Nelson! Very well said. Financial Literacy is one of the foundations that everyone needs to understand and put to work. Unfortunately materialstic items leave us empty and worse off than before. Congrats on achieving this goal and talk 👍👌🇨🇦.
Thank you for your support! Achieving our financial goals takes hard work and consistency combined with the ability to delay gratification.
Great job Nelson. You made a difficult topic simple to follow and implement. You shared it in a practical and entertaining manner. Well done!
Appreciate your feedback, Azim! Financial literacy is one of those things where simple and consistent is best. It's often overcomplicated and that's where people go wrong.
Thanks again for watching my talk Azim! Did you or anyone in your network implement any effective financial literacy strategies lately?
Excellent talk, very relatable! Great advice I'll look forward to implementing in my life. Thanks, Nelson!
Thank you so much for your feedback and time to watch my talk, Krista! Wishing you all the best and success with creating financial independence in life. If there's anything I can do to help, please reach out.
Krista, thank you again for watching my TEDx Talk and I hope you have been able to implement some of these principles into your life!
Great TED Talk, Nelson! Some really important things to think about, what's important in life and how to best set yourself up for financial freedom in the future! I'm now rethinking my need to buy an air fryer. Very inspiring!
Thank you, Jen! Setting ourselves up for financial freedom is always wanted but often overlooked. An air fryer is a great kitchen tool if you need it! :)
So powerful, Nelson! I feel like I learned so much from you.
Thank you, Mairi!! The learning goes both ways!
Nelson’s hands have entered the chat
😂🙌🤙🙏
An important message in this day and age of social media lifestyles flexing!
The real flex is when you have achieved financial independence that allows you to have time freedom. Appreciate your feedback!!
"TikTok made me buy it!" -- my new favourite quote! Excellent presentation and message.
Thank you so much, Scott. Glad you enjoyed the Tik Tok part!
Thank you very much for watching my TEDx Talk! Remember, becoming financially literate is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Comment and let me know what you learned from my talk. I'd love to hear from you.
Please share this with someone in your life that needs to see this video!
You did very well Nelson 👏
@@TipstoFinancialIndependence thank you so much for your support!
Thank you Nelson. Watching your videos saved me from committing a suicid.
@@chicofresh4396 You are very welcome. Please take care of yourself and seek the professional help as needed. 💜
how old are you? I can't tell if you're gen z or millen or in between
Great job Nelson! I totally agree with you about how financial literacy needs to be taught at an early age, and how your career should be more about your passion above anything else. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, Vince! Agree with you and appreciate your support!
Vince, thank you again for your time to watch my talk. Would appreciate it if you could share this with someone that you think will gain something from it!
An underlying problem in today’s society is lack of true passion and true purpose. How funny he discovered his true passion and purpose when he became financially literate. Even started a business!!!! That is success ladies and gentlemen. Self education of money will change your life.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Through my own first-hand experience, I can confidently say that financial literacy is non-negotiable. It changed my life and I will help others change theirs too.
AWESOME MAN
Thank you so much for watching my talk! Appreciate your support and feedback.
“Our world’s future is depending on it”… keep spreading the word, Nelson! The world we are born into now is ultra complicated, ultra competitive… only with genuine, selfless teachers do we stand a chance. To share a phrase, “Non sibi, sed orbi .” This translates to ‘not for oneself, but for the world’. Great work 👏👏
Thank you so much for watching my talk, Joe! I really appreciate your time and I love the phrase you've shared. We must give more and take less.
Joe, thanks again for watching my talk and I hope that my message here has been shared with others to help improve the chances that our future generations see the importance and urgency of financial literacy.
Thought provoking, 100% on point delivery of your viewpoints and motivating to take action! Do another talk about steps in taking action pls 😁. This is inspirational. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback, Melanie. 3 easy steps to take action - 1) Set realistic and reasonable financial goals 2) Create a plan of action 3) Execute on the plan with discipline and consistency (automate as much as possible). Happy to help further if needed!
Watching this has been inspiring and motivational. We need more people like Nelson! 👏 👏
Thank you so much for your time to watch my talk, Anthony! Appreciate your support
Thank you for watching my TEDx talk Anthony! I hope you were able to implement a few of these principles into your life and level up.
Wish i had wealth being passed down to me, what a life
TRUTHFUL, BOLD and it needed to be said... Amazing talk Nelson, well done!!!
Thank you so much, Nikita. We must understand how money works to achieve financial independence!
Great talk Nelson! My gut punch was when I realized I was in marketing and I was susceptible to my own craft haha. I hope this message spreads and we get a ton of people on the FI/RE train :)
Thank you for helping me share this message and movement, Ben. We need to help spread the F.I.R.E. (financial independence retire early) movement!
What a powerful and informative talk! As someone who is also part of the social media generation I definitely need to stop buying “things” to impress people I don’t know or care about.. I think my financial future and bank account would like that! 😆 But really the power social media has on this generation is astonishing, we need to take a step back and re-evaluate what we want in our financial future and see if our current habits support that. Thank you for sharing your story and knowledge with us!
Thank you for this great feedback!! We see thousands of marketing impressions every day on social media. It's critical that we understand the difference between what we need vs what we want otherwise we will be stuck in a vicious spending cycle that never gets fixed. Thanks for watching!
every one is never again
Love this perspective and your presentation. The need for better financial literacy for all (especially the younger generations) is one of the most overlooked things in today's society!
Thank you, Michael! Appreciate your feedback and I completely agree with you.
Good debt and bad debt. I learned about that from Rich dad
Awesome! A lot to learn from Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Great resource. Thank you for sharing 🙌
IDK how many times he slaps me right on my face virtually with his words
Thank you for your time to watch my TEDx Talk Dinda! Financial literacy is crucial for all of us to create financial independence and success in life. Please help me share this video with anyone that needs a wake-up call!
One of my goals in my vision board is to start a school and i swear i must put financial literacy in every timetable from playgroup class to Grade 12.I must tesch those kids.
Yes! Please keep me in mind when this happens. Financial literacy is non-negotiable 🙌
This is quality work. A similar book I read flipped my world upside down, in a good way. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk
Thank you so much for your feedback and great suggestion!
Awesome talk/message Nelson!
Thank you so much, Willie! I appreciate your time to watch my talk.
Willie, thanks again for watching my talk and I hope you were able to share this with others in your network that might be able to gain something from it!
Such an important message, delivered from experience - share for sure
Thank you so much, Brandi. I appreciate your time and feedback!
Brandi, thanks again for watching my talk and hope that others in your network have been able to gain something out of it as well!
I hope your message is seen by many of your generation and the younger generation too. Financial education is the only way and unfortunately sadly lacking in schools.
Thank you for your time to watch my talk! I agree with you 100%. Please help share this with anyone that might gain something from it. Together, we can make a positive impact!
So good! We have an epidemic that's ignored. Eventually, it'll come back to bite us, but everyone thinks they won't be the eventually.
This topic MUST be addressed before it's too late. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge on your social channels. Together, we can all make a massive positive impact.
Thanks again for watching my talk, Kurtis and please continue to share this talk with others that may gain something from it. A lack of financial literacy will have a negative impact on those that don't choose to step up and take ownership over their finances.
❤Great video. We are all seeking financial independence and a better way of life. This is not difficult to achieve with savvy investing, a frugal lifestyle, and cautious budgeting. I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, my wife and I never earned more than a middle-class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $1.7M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.
Thank you for watching my TEDx Talk. That is AWESOME! It is a myth that you need to be rich and wealthy to start investing. You just have to START, and it builds from there. Kudos to you and your wife, great work 👏
This message is vital for the social media generation to hear. They must become financially literate BEFORE they take their turn to run the world.
That is right! Becoming financially literate is non-negotiable. Our future is depending on it!
You say that like the people running the world now are financially literate. Have you seen the US debt lately?
@@kairitetra No, I didn't say that. You are putting words in my mouth.
i use my airfryer every day lol
Same!! Thank you for watching my TEDx Talk!
"Pay yourself first". A fundamental principle we all can follow to improve our personal financial literacy. Great info.
Thank you Lisa. When we master the fundamental financial literacy principles, we will achieve financial independence.
Thanks again for watching my talk, Lisa. I hope you have been able to share this principle with others around you!
@@@💯💯💯💯
Thank you for taking the time to watch my TEDx talk! 🙏
Didn’t really learn anything . Good speech though .
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much for watching my talk, Dean!
Thank you Nelson. What a powerful message! A message for all of us, and not just for your generation. It is absolutely critical that we all understand money and how it works. Keep sharing your story and keep spreading your words of wisdom.
Thank you, Dorothea! Financial literacy is something we all need in our lives!
Dorothea! Look at the impact we have been able to make together through this talk. Thank you for all your help. I couldn't have done it without you. Hope you have been able to share this with others that might gain something from it!
Great speech, Nelson! I had no idea you were totally like me about money!! I am not in debt but no savings from my last job 🤣. Being laid off was a big awakening for me. I like your book which is perfect for beginner who wants to know how money works. Thank You!
Thank you, Jann! It is so important that everybody has an emergency fund (at least 6 months of expenses saved) for unexpected life events. I encourage you to start creating an emergency fund slowly as it will come in handy when you least expect it! Thank you for your support with our book, Life Literacy. I'm glad that it provided valuable insights!
I like change please
What a speech boss😍
Thank you so much!
a lot of this has to do with america's cultural problem of conspicuous consumption, and how social media companies (and media companies in general) are financially incentivized to perpetuate it
Agreed! We must all do our part to create awareness of financial literacy and how every financial decision impacts one's financial future. Thanks for watching!!
Great talk Nelson; important and relevant for sure, and presented very well. Nicely done, and keep sharing this much needed message. Cheers, David
Thank you very much, David! Financial literacy is so important and we need to keep creating awareness around the topic.
David - thank you again for watching my talk! I'd really appreciate it if you could please share this with anyone that might gain something from it. Cheers!
This was great and very informative!
Thank you, my friend! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing it!
Insightful and thought provoking, thanks for sharing Nelson!
Appreciate your feedback and time to watch my talk, Jonathan!
Jonathan, thank you again for watching my TEDx talk. I hope that the insights from my talk have made a positive impact on your life. Curious, what principles have you (or will you) be implementing into your life around financial literacy?
Amazing job, Nelson!
Thank you so much Kim! Appreciate your time to watch my TEDx Talk :)
Marriage is more expensive than a luxury car. Do your research well very well before marriage.
Agreed!
Yep. financial illiteracy is one of the biggest problems in the U.S.
Not just in the US!
Congratulations, Nelson! To anyone who enjoyed and found this TED talk useful and relevant, you should check out his book, “Life Literacy.” Highly recommended 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching my talk and reading our book Life Literacy, Gen! Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your support!
Gen, thank you again for watching my TEDx Talk. I appreciate your feedback and support to help spread awareness for this important life skill!
Was hoping for more substance. This is just a guy telling you it’s important to spend money wisely.
Thanks for your feedback, Cory! Most people need a reminder of the basics and why financial literacy is important to improve their lives
